I had the exact same problem (bent inner tie rod) on my 2015 LEAF. I ordered The Dorman 523-243 replacement.
It was not compatible. The threads on the steering rack side are larger and much finer than the ones on the original.
Left side is the original, right is Dorman 523-243

I do wish they would have sourced their numbers on the refinery side. The numbers on the electrical generation side are already fairly well understood. Perhaps this is why they were able to source them so well, and had to be vague on the refining side.
I suspect that the petroleum industry PR...

I'm not sure if this supports your statement or not, but here it is. :-)
I think the real question here is, could this be directly comparable?
If the plant was not refining...
Looks like I spoke too soon.
They indicate that they did use well to wheels emissions for both gasoline powered vehicles and EVs.
I could not find numbers they used for upstream emissions for gasoline. I'd be interested to see what they came up with (and how).
Thanks!
After this news, I think I understand the Nissan strategy for the LEAF.

I think a better critique of a plan which promotes a large scale switch to CNG vehicles is that it pushes us to another painful transition point in the future.
Electric vehicles decouple the fuel source from the vehicle, CNG vehicles do not.
Thanks!
I think this site covers most of the high level issues:

I'd need to lookup similar resources if you are holding misconceptions (and they're almost certainly misconceptions) which are not covered by that site.
Edit...
Yodrak and the thousands like him who hold similar views are living proof that it's much easier to spread confusion, uncertainty, and doubt then it is to educate.
A few huge, entrenched businesses have so much to lose once we come to our collective senses, that paying a few hundred million to...
The LEAF has a built in isolation monitor, so using a non-isolated charger might be possible.
Also, this is interesting:
